Atletico Madrid take on the visitors Lleida at “Wanda Metropolitano” in the second-leg clash of the 1/8 stage of the Copa del Rey. The match will be played in Madrid on Tuesday, January 9th.
Atletico Madrid feel a little bit uncomfortable at the home ground in this season, having got only 15 points in seven games played in face of their fans with single victory gained in them. The club’s attack does not impress, having scored eight goals while its defense maintains its usual high standards, having conceded just three goals so far. “Los Colchoneros” won three latest battles conducted at the home pitch: 1:0 over Alaves, 2:1 vs. Real Sociedad and 3:0 against Elche.

Meanwhile, Lleida look entirely helpless on the road in this season as the side managed to earn only two triumphs and three defeats in nine away clashes. The team’s offense cannot boast with the great football, having scored only seven goals, however, its defense is not much better, having conceded 10 goals already. Lleida recorded 1:2 loss to Olot, 3:2 victory over Real Sociedad and 0:3 defeat from Valencia B in their recent fights played on the road.
The upcoming visitors have no chances for promotion to the nest stage as the first-leg game ended with 4:0 triumph of “Los Colchoneros”. There are no incentives left for Atletico Madrid in the forthcoming clash, therefore, they are probably use the reserved players. There are no doubts that the club from Madrid will qualify to the next round of the Copa del Rey, consequently, the hosts will not push hard while the visiting team is not able to stick to the opponent’s level.
Prediction for the match: Under 4.0 scored goals.
